Two updates in rapid succession like this may never happen again (unless a much faster writer than me gets inspired), but this is when these two posts were ready:
May, 2014 (1942 on Earth-2, 1880 on Earth-3, 1557 on Earth-4, and 516 CE/1269 AUC on Earth-5)
May 2: A Japanese Gundam team is to be deployed to the Hoth Front when transportation becomes available (this use of ridiculously impractical vehicles is intended to encourage the Axis powers to waste money on more ridiculously impractical Wunderwaffen, rather than more useful tanks and ships; it also gets the otaku who built them to shut up about deploying their silly toys). Some in the militaries of other countries on Earth-1 are surprised that they found enough actual soldiers willing to pilot the silly things, though to be fair, only six are marked for deployment. In Dsp-London, MI6 receives a report that a wormhole may exist connecting an unknown military base in Nazi Germany with a military base on Venus(2).
May 4: In Dsp-Ruritania, Hans Ruddendorf, leader of the Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei Ruritanischen (National Socialist Ruritanian Workers Party) is assassinated by a sniper. The party blames the Marxistische Partei der Arbeiter und Bauern Ruritanischen (Marxist Party of Ruritanian Workers and Peasants), and initiates a purge. In Dsp-Germany, the 'Übermensch, Typ Eins' cloned soldiers see combat in North Africa. Though they are large, strong, and intimidating, their poor health, low intelligence, lack of creativity, and numerous mental problems do not serve them well on twentieth century battlefields.
May 5: The X-58, designated White Mobile Space Force Base (MSFB), is completed over Luna-1 (see March 4, 2014). The deceptively delicate-looking vessel serves as both a bomber tender and a mobile base (the word 'carrier' is specifically absent from documentation) for short-range fighters and other small-craft. She is defended by interceptor and area-defense missiles, repellor screens, laser screens, multiple force shield layers of various types, a plasma field close to the hull, and structural integrity fields.
May 7: In Dsp-UK, the Blackhawk Squadron takes delivery of twelve
P-87 Blackhawks, some of which will be used as reserve planes. In Inp-New Jersey, the Atlantic City Joker escapes from the asylum where he has been confined since Feb. 26, 2014. Later that night, this Joker is killed by Kevin Walters (see Sept. 23, 2013). The second Battle of Midway(2) occurs - the US Navy retakes the atoll, assisted by Royal Navy and Commonwealth forces. IJN forces were not involved, due to concerns over bad luck.
May 9: 'Occlumency: Defending the Mind' (see June 7, 2013) published. Other topics include meditation and autohypnosis, sensing mental intrusions, building up one's mental strength, and developing a true mind shield, as well as methods for enchanting an item (usually headgear made of or with metal) for that purpose. One important recommendation the book offers is to find a friendly telepath to help develop these skills. Apart from the main authors, JK Rowling and Michael Gambon, contributing writers include Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Patricia Tallman, among others.
May 10: The
telepathic people of Titan(2) hold a general election, leading to the more isolationist party losing power, to be replaced by a party that is less isolationist. In Dsp-London, Parliament passes a resolution guaranteeing the independence of the Princely States in the 'unlikely' event that India ceases to be part of the Empire. In the Dsp-North Pacific, the Battle of the Severgin Strait takes place: an IJN fleet attacks Axis forces retreating from the Battle of Midway. The battle is a decisive Japanese victory. In Inp-New Zealand, UNIT-NZ and the RNZAF acquire several PEW-PEW guns (see March 3, 2014) for testing purposes. The Allied Constellation (see April 24, 2014) breaches the Earth-1 universe. Kenji and Sadako encounter a
Teke Teke, but are able to resolve the situation without too much loss of life. The Moai 1 probe is launched from Cape Canaveral(1) on a course for
Makemake(1).
May 12: Forster Reforms of the Stp-British Army begin, inspired by the ideas of Secretary of State for War William Edward Forster's
adopted son's counterparts on the Future Earths. The British Army is to be split between a long-service Imperial Army (mostly serving overseas), a short-service Territorial Army (mostly staying in the UK), and the Volunteer Reserves (also in the UK, unless called up). Both Imperial and Territorial personnel are expected to spend time in the Reserves after leaving active service. The reforms also begin phasing out the sale of officers' commissions.
May 14: The Allied Constellation begins landings on Earth-1, having been slowed down by the Kessler shell. At a diplomatic dinner in Aluros, Dsp-Luna, the Selenean representatives are surprised to learn that the Ssoranthhu have never heard of the Mysterons, and believe that there are only three sophont races on Mars (though the Seleneans only knew about Mysterons from the records they extracted from the ancient listening post). The Ssoranthhu cultural attaché notes that descriptions of the Mysterons resemble tales of the ancient Martian creator-gods, common to Ssoranthhuul, Changing Martian, and Sarmak mythology.
Again, I complain about the character limit...
